What is it?

• A REST API for all your Pages and Content
   
• Hosted and maintained by Agility CMS
   
• API is behind a CDN and can support millions of requests
   
• All SDKs are open-source via GitHub

Why?

• Freedom - You can use any programming language or framework to get content from Agility CMS
   

• It's fast! - API requests never hit your content database, won't affect your CMS users, and can handle millions of requests - even in preview mode!
   

• More stable - API requests are handled by a global CDN using Stackpath

Why?...

• Write less, and better performant code - this API will auto-resolve linked content dependencies so you don't have to make multiple API calls to get/sort the content you need
   

• It's flexible - Just want to use Shared Content to manage structured content? Sure, go ahead. Want a more dynamic approach using Pages? You can do that too.
   

• Reduced complexity - You don't need to be a full-stack developer to integrate with our CMS.

Use Cases

• Prefer a Headless CMS architecture
   

• Multiple platforms such as a website, iOS and/or Android app and want a single source of content
   

• Building a website using a static site generator such as Gatsby JS
   

• Building a web app that does not require SEO

Use Cases...

• Consume content on-demand from a CMS
   

• Tech stack contains different programming languages and frameworks and you need a platform-agnostic approach to consuming content from a CMS
   

• You have an existing site that you want to power some content from a CMS without having to re-write the whole site
